UMES-Bethune women's game suspended after altercation

February 15, 2011|By From Sun staff reports

A physical altercation between the UMES women (8-16, 5-6 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) and host Bethune-Cookman (12-11, 5-6 MEAC) led officials to suspend the game with 16:22 left in the second half Monday.

Game officials, security and both coaching staffs eventually broke up the melee on the court, sending the teams to their locker rooms.

"To have an incident occur is not representative of who we are," Bethune-Cookman athletic director Lynn Thompson said.
